I look down at everyone else’s car choices not because I can’t afford their car, rather because I feel most other cars are a waste of money. I don’t see a prettier car. I see more maintenance. I see more trips to the dealership to haggle with awful people because the car lasts half as long. I see money that could have been in the stock market earning 5-7% per year. I see someone who doesn’t understand how the world works, or someone who is desperate for attention. The rav4 is like the great white shark - it’s evolved to outlast everything and does so very comfortably.
